The Ministry of Public Administration (MPA) acts exclusively in accordance with the Constitution and laws of Montenegro, regardless of political pressures or attempts to instrumentalize institutions, the government department said.
Regarding the supervision in the Municipality of Budva, the MPA announced that they conducted supervision in all municipalities ex officio and on their own initiative, and not selectively.
As they said, the public will be informed of the outcome in a timely manner.
"MPA does not have a political agenda - the goal is legality, legal certainty and equal treatment of all municipalities," the statement says.
It is stated that the MPA is not responsible for the work of the Municipal Election Commission, nor for decisions on the number of councilors.
"The decision to appoint or dismiss the vice-president of the municipality is an individual act, the legality of which is assessed by the Administrative Court," explained the MPA.
They pointed out that, in that case, the Administrative Court's ruling fully confirms the MPA's findings.
"The ministry remains committed to professional, impartial and lawful work - regardless of political criticism," the statement concluded.
